The sitcom from this week Leave It to Beaver, I found interesting. Watching the Cleaver parents sitting that closely on the sofa reading books I found funny. They seemed to be in their own little worlds until they were interrupted by Eddie. And then Mrs. Haskel didn't even have a magazine, she was sitting there knitting I think, while her husband read the newspaper. They were sitting away from each other, as if the other person was not in the room. It was also interesting that the Cleavers had dinner as a family with discussion. Most families that I know do not have dinner at the same time, let again together. The interaction between the parents and children and the interaction between Beaver and Wally seemed to be real, as opposed to the interaction between the Keatings of last weeks' sitcom.
